"This hotel is a true paradise. I cannot recommend highly enough. Everything and everyone were perfect and I will definitely be looking to return in the near future"
"Very excellent hotel, with very good facilities and the hotel can arrange a variety of activities on and off the island. The food was great and staff very helpful"
"Very friendly and helpful people. Lovely quiet position right on the beach and good snorkelling nearby. Would love to return one day. Very good food from in-house French chef"
"The ocean view amazing but you had to work for it. Lots of steps. (We stayed in the highest bungalow) There are no roads on the island. You get there by boat. The reception was amazing. Luggage carried off boat. Mango juice served upon arrival. Wonderful staff. Waking up to the sights and sounds of the ocean and birds was wonderful. No air conditioning in our unit but with terrace doors wide open, (they have mosquito netting around the bed, alrhough we didn't need it as it was the first of October - dry season) and a standing fan, we weren't too hot. The garden filled property was lovely. They have a bar. Pool didn't have water."
"I loved my visit to Villa les Orchidées. The hotel was amazing and the staff were more than helpful. My three complaints are very, very minor and would not effect a decision to stay there again, however people should know what they are getting:
1) There is no hot-tub, only a pool.
2) There is no real coffee, only instant garbage.
3) The hotel soundtrack is nauseating. I have a feeling the owner, whom you will more than likely meet, likes it, but its just awful."
"Camera ampia e ben attrezzata. Buffet ricco e vario. Soft all inclusive ottimo.
Spiaggia attrezzata e pulita. Animazione cortese e non invadente. La Direzione sempre presente per qualsiasi necessità.
Un grazie particolare al direttore Antonio e al vice Roberto per la loro cortesia, disponibilità e simpatia."
"Manga Soa is as close to paradise on Earth as you will find!
It is a friendly, French-managed small lodge set in the most exhuberant tropical gardens imaginable! Every tropical flower & plant are found here.
The managers, Roman & Ocean, are a competent, friendly can-do couple who can handle any request. Their staff is impeccably trained, yet friendly & personable. We loved the French-inspired food! With tasty tropical touches, every meal was a delight! The chef's brioche rolls were scrumptious!
This is the perfect paradise! Each oversized bungalow is masterfully made from local hardwoods with true island touches. We loved the huge bed with crisp, cool linens. Lying in bed looking out over the Indian ocean is true luxury!
The beach is beautiful but not always swimmable with the low tide. Ask Roman to arrange for their boat to take you to a reef or one of the nearby islands!
Don't miss having a massage or 2! Prices are so reasonable & the ladies are very knowledgeable!
We loved everything about our stay here and were treated like VIPs! It is a shining gem on Nosy Be.
The road is now paved & it's a smooth & easy trip to the airport or Helleville."
